Death of a Selachii

Agatean Empire

The political entity that rules over the entire Counterweight continent, and also once used to have heavy influence on foreign countries as powerful as Ankh Morpork, until the Agatean government lost interest in all places foreign and, in order to keep citizens happily toiling away within the walls of the Empire, told the citizens that all foreign lands were barren wastelands with howling ghosts.

Gold is common on the Counterweight continent, and deemed less valuable by Agateans than as regarded by foreigners. Once upon the time, the Agateans were more technologically advanced: iconograph, spectacles, dentures, and so on.
